  1. Put up to date Tags on it, for some reason Stateys don't like it very much when your tags are a year old hahaha
  2. It kills the mpgs noticeably as stated above however not 4-6. You can also feel the drag when you let off the accelerator. I need to get mine off my roof someday and onto a rear bumper..... Never really found an issue throwing the spare up there, I just stand on the back tire and give it the ole' heave-ho!
  3. I just built around it and stayed fairly tight to the body, I was also able to keep the windshield fluid res
  4. I had fun for sure. Glad we could get out and hit the trails it was good seeing you all again. We need to do it more often then once a year! I'll start a thread in the pictures area if you guys wanna dump them up there!
  5. Dang Change!! I had dimes stuck in my rails, took me forever to figure it out, partially because I was being too lazy to take the seats out.
  6. Eh, Ill just tell him to hit Walmart before he comes up haha
  7. Do they sell them up there? I have my year one but the dude coming with might now
  8. Nonsense! You're just a few more hours away
  9. you would be better off finding a wrecked rig with all the parts. Like David and Dennis did
  10. Soil Nails, are a giant bolt ranging in different lengths from a few feet to 30+, That are put in the ground horizontally in a grid. We cover them with Shotcrete and Post tenstion them to around 26,000lbs. It basically ends up holding a soil embankment from eroding away, (If its loose ground, when you hit 30 kips you can see the embankment pull away, kinda eerie) Rock Bolts are basically a Soil Nail but we put them into the rock face of cliffs, tension them and lock them off, helps hold the cliff up. Along with this we usually hang the wire fencing you see on cliffs near the freeways. Micropiles, well they can have several uses depending what they are designed for, we normally put them in to help underpin a preexisting foundation or to help “stitch” the soil together, within a predicted shear zones to enhance mass stability. Hopefully that helped
  11. Oh it has nothing to do with visiting, its just a reason why I don't want to live there!, Plus y'all have too many people there
  12. Is the Salton "City" really this neat looking? Hahaha, Ever been there? Have any of your own pictures of the place? As much as I dislike CA politics wise, they have some neat stuff there that I would love to check out
  13. Currently, I work construction doing soil nails, micropiles rock bolts, etc. I am also finishing my Senior year for my Mech. Eng degree First job was a paper boy when I was about 11/12 after school. Then they went stupid and made the paper due at 6am instead of 3pm so I had to quit. Was fun and made good money as a little guy
  14. I'm digging the BIG ASS fan, those things are awesome!
  15. Here is mine for more ideas on what you can do,
  16. Yea man, Tahuya is fun to bring the pretty trucks on. I enjoy it, and when its wet it gets more fun Hmm, You have a truck? I don't think the Z will like the ruts to much
  17. After I bashed my stock bumper into a rock at Evans I built my own, It only cost me 2 boxes of Reese's Peanut Butter cups
  18. I don't really have a preference, I am sure most other places are under a bit of snow, which would also be fun. Tahuya is always a good time though
